Q. What is An Airsoft Gun?
A. It is a 1:1 scale model of a real gun. The ones we sell shoot 6mm plastic BBs at about 350 FPS feet per second. These BBs usually weigh either .2g to .25g.

It is not the same as paintball guns, also called paintball markers. Paintball guns are not replicas of real guns and shoots 17mm paintballs.

Q. What are the different types of Airsoft Guns?
A. There are three main types of Airsoft Guns.

Spring Cocking / Air Cocking
Pull on the slide of a pistol and you cock the spring. Pull the trigger and away you go. These are usually inexpensive and a first buy. They are often called springers. Shotguns can be spring powered as well.
Gas Operated
The most common is the GBB (Gas Blow Back) pistol. Charge the reservoir in the magazine, pull the trigger and the slide cycles while the BB is shot from the barrel. You have fixed slide guns (Non Blow Backs) , where the slide doesn’t move. You also have shotguns that operate on gas.
Electric Operated
This is the most common type of gun and most often used at the Milsim Tactical Field. A battery powers a motor that turns gears which moves a piston. Speeds are close to 280 fps. About the same as a paintball gun. The automatic electric guns (AEGs) are almost always semi and fully automatic.

Q. What is your FPS recommendation?
A. We believe 450 FPS is very safe for field games, 350 FPS for Close Quarter games. But let’s face it, eye protection is the most important safety equipment you can use. Sniper guns can be faster than 450 FPS, but should only be used at distances of GREATER than 40 meters.

Q. What about protection?
A. We can’t over emphasize the importance of eye protection. A full face airsoft mask is important for mouth protection.  We recommend a long sleeve clothes, gloves, scarf etc… Most of our customers also buy military uniforms or BDUs.

Q. Can airsoft kill mice cats or birds?

A. Yes it can kill mice, cats and birds depending on the range and # of hits

Q. Is airsoft legal? Do I need papers?

A. Yes it is legal, papers are optional

Q. Can I pick up used BBs and use them again?

A. we do not recommend this practice as this will jam your barrel and cause breakage of internal parts. We also don’t recommend china made BBs and other cheap bbs due to their irregular shape.

* do not use WD 40 or other metal cleaners for airsoft guns, USE ONLY SILICONE OIL.

A. Airsoft Armory at domestic road, pasay city provides an indoor game site and provides guns and gears for rent. They also cater to corporate team building events.
